The lessons, videos, music and tabs were awesome learning materials for anyone wanting to learn how to bucket drum.
Thank you for the wonderful experience, for making it easy to teach my students.
They thoroughly enjoyed every moment and it was largely thanks to you.
I loved ALL of your videos and so did the inner city kids I taught!

The Backstory
As a child, I was obsessed with rhythm. I would frequently get in trouble for tapping my pencil in class, but I couldn't stop. I felt compelled to transform that tap into something.
Before I owned a drum set, I would play on anything that was around, including buckets, tupper ware, pots, and my little brother.
I cannot recall a point in my life that I wasn't tapping, but I didn’t consider myself a natural. It took years of perseverance, plenty of practice, and educating myself every way I could to get to the point I am now. I've played in marching bands. I've performed with headliners all over the world. I've had the fortune of touring four different continents, yet my favorite part was teaching workshops on my favorite topic: RHYTHM.
Rhythm has been a huge asset to my life, and watching those discoveries in others is amazing. I was an elementary school teacher when I opted to use bucket drums with the kids, and it was a huge success. The movement had begun and an idea was formed.

Hey Sammy, we started playing yesterday! I was so nervous, not being a drummer, but I started like you showed using the right hand, then left, alternate, and together. It worked well.
L.M.
This was an exciting experience for me.
You're website is awesome. I teach k12 music, band and Orchestra... I use bucket drumming in replace of recorders with my fifth graders. My kids loved bucket drumming and the community loved watching it. Thanks!

Sammy, You were able to show 75 kids a love for drumming that they never knew they had. It was evident from day one that you truly enjoy the art of drumming and teaching it to kids. Bucket drumming was the favorite activity of many this summer, including the adults. Your talent and passion for drumming is something I truly hope you continue to share with the world.

You made it exactly how I had envisioned it would be! It was easy to follow and you were very engaging.
J.Z.
I know your video is going to work! Thank you so much for making it.
Your video was EXCELLENT because you always used right, left, top, rim or sides consistently.
I can use your video without having to interject those crucial directions myself. I was so excited when I finished watching it I actually went across the room and picked up a bucket and some drum sticks and started the video over and played along with you.
Soooooo fun!
